Want an all purpose point and shoot, between $250-400.

Most important to me is shutter speed. I'll probably be in auto mode most of the time. I'd like some extended zoom ability, and therefore, probably IS, low light picture quality, and lastly a good movie mode with good sound (I've got four kids and never get the movie camera out anymore). Finally, while I don't need an ultra compact, I'd like to carry it in my purse most of the time - to catch the kids without having to "remember to bring the camera." Oh, and I won't be enlarging many pics - snapshots are fine.

The Fuji Finepix F30 is a great choice for several reasons. It has a high MP, and most importantly a fast shutter speed up to an ISO rating of 3200. Tripod will help if in low light.

One clarificiation, while I do want it to work in low light, or at least indoors without a flash, when I said "shutter speed" I actually mean shutter reaction time - the time from when you press the button to when the picture is actually taken.

hello,
Fugi Finepix F30 has won all the low light awards - but it's ugly!. There is an upgrade just out - F31 I think, so may be worth a look.
I've just bought a camera & I have 3 kids under 3 so had similar requirements.
My short list was Sony T10, Panasonic FX07 & Canon 800. Though all compacts suffer from red eye, this is a major gripe of mine - I was looking for the camera that coped with this best - research showed that the FX07 was the best performing in this area.
I got the FX07 3 days ago, haven't had a chance to use it much but so far v happy - only one image out of 30 indoor flash pics showed noticable red eye - v impressive.
Have fun

I have already written so many replies here I am beginning to repeat myself. HAHA

My vote is the Canon A630. I have been digital since one of the first Sony Mavicas were just out (the one with the FLOPPY!!). I later moved to a Konica DiMage 500.

But this Canon is just the right size, res, price, feature and expandability for the casual user or the higher-level amateur.

I think if you click on my name you will be able to see all kinds of topics related to this camera.

I carry mine with me and I have bought some really awesome accessories online (buy NOTHING in the stores!). If you want some sample shots in a variety of settings and modes, email me at sherisdotter@aol.com.

Good luck!
